The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

In human relationships kindness and lies are worth a thousand truths.

One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.

Two thousand years ago we lived in a world of Gods and Goddesses. Today we live in a world solely of Gods. Women in most cultures have been stripped of their spiritual power.

Where is the justice of political power if it executes the murderer and jails the plunderer and then itself marches upon neighboring lands killing thousands and pillaging the very hills?

No matter where I go - London Beirut Jerusalem Washington Beijing or Bangalore - I'm always looking to rediscover that land of ten thousand lakes where politics actually worked to make people's lives better not pull them apart.

Politics begin where the masses are not where there are thousands but where there are millions that is where serious politics begin.

If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.

Let my life as Poet begin. I want the life of the Poet. I have labored for over twelve years one thousand pages of prose. Now I want the easiness of poetry. The brevity of the poem.
